Let's Start a War, or Let's Start a War... (Said Maggie One Day), is the third album by the punk band The Exploited, released in 1983 through Pax Records. The title refers to Margaret Thatcher's decision to go to war over the Falkland Islands in 1982, suggesting that she did so almost on a whim.[7] The controversial war was fodder for many protest songs in the punk movement. It was reissued on Captain Oi! Records in 1998, which featured three tracks from their Rival Leaders EP.[8]
